Do not rub your eyes. You are seeing right. It is not a cup race. But, yes, the $100,000 Kranji Stakes A race on Sunday has the trimmings and the class to easily qualify as one. It is oozing talent. Among the contenders are some of the best horses...
Like Hongkong Great, million-dollar club member Minister has been in hibernation since Gold Cup Day.Well, if you have missed them, then do not miss the Kranji races on Sunday. Chances are, you will get to see them all.Whether or not they will shine bright is left to be seen, but we know that they will be “in the mood”.Best among them, of course, was Hongkong Great.
While others his age might be thinking about retirement and romping in green pastures, this Chilean-bred seven-year-old must be thinking of his next assignment.But Hongkong Great has won over the mile, leading all the way to land the goodies.Mind you, he is resuming with a trial victory on Jan 31. Back to Minister, he had a terrible time in the Gold Cup race. He never had a peep-in, finishing a distant last to Hongkong Great.The 2,000m trip was not really his cup of tea and he will be transformed when racing over Sunday’s shorter distance of 1,400m, especially when fresh.
In the time since his Gold Cup failure in November, trainer Donna Logan must have done plenty to keep him trim and taut.That day, Minister had jockey Matthew Kellady doing the steering when beaten into second place by Thunder Star.Also impressive galloper on the training track was Sacred Croix.
